Jonc's $0.02 on V for Vendetta...
Mar. 19th, 2006 03:37 pmI think a lot of what I was about to post about this movie has already been touched upon by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmalyon and editswlonghair, so I'll say now that I LOVED it.
One problem I had with it was actually my own fault, as I went in not only already knowing the entire story (I just recently reread it) but also paying attention to what they'd changed for the movie. This is exactly the type of thing I hated doing in college but like I said, it's my own fault, so I can't say I didn't like it because X, Y and Z of the original plot wasn't in there. I think if I hadn't reread it so recently, I probably would have paid more attention to the movie's version of the story and thus would have enjoyed it more.
( Cut for potential spoilers )
All in all, visually it was a movie that I enjoyed immensely. Writing-wise, it was one of those "Damn, I wish I'd written that..." sort of movies that makes me want to run home, turn on the computer and start writing. I admit it wasn't sheer perfection, but it was something that I'll definitely go see again, and something I'll definitely pick up on dvd when it comes out.
